It’s one of the nicknames the rapper has gone by — his other monikers include Yeezy and Yeezus — and is the name he gave to his last studio album, which was released in June and became his eighth no. 1 on the Billboard 200.

West announced earlier in September that he was set to release his ninth studio album, Yandhi, at the end of this month.

The Fader reported on Friday that Yandi includes appearances from Ty Dolla $Sign as well as 6ix9ine and the late rapper XXXtentacion. West, who appeared at the Fader offices wearing a red Make America Great Again cap and a white Colin Kaepernick sweatshirt, also told the website that he had sent one song to Rihanna for her to record her vocals.
